Queue Up for Double XP Weekend!

Plus, new Playlist information for Week 8!

Thanks for a Great Event!

It’s been an extraordinary two weeks, but today is the last day of Knockout City Heroes and the limited-time Superpowers! Playlist. Get your last few matches in while you still can, and finish up those Event Contracts! At 12pm (noon) UTC tomorrow, Tuesday, September 14th, the event will vanish like your hearts after getting tackled by someone with Super Dodge Strike! That also means your Power Crystals will vaporize along with it, so if there are items in the Event Shop that you’ve been eyeing, get them now!

Today is also the last day in the ongoing saga of our heroes. We’ve been updating you daily on Twitter with comic book pages that tell a story about Captain KO and the Curveshot Kid as they take on the terrifying V.I.P.E.R. Leader and his henchmen. If you weren’t able to keep up with the unfolding story, catch up by visiting our Twitter!

A sincere thank you to everyone who played over the past two weeks. It’s been so much fun seeing everyone discover new ways to play, develop new strategies, and share your best moments. If you have clips from the event, please post them in our GG channel on Discord, or @ us on Twitter!

Double XP Weekend!

Now, there’s no time to waste! This weekend, grab a friend, match up your outfits and hit the field! Starting Friday, September 17th at 12pm (noon) UTC, we kick off another Double XP Weekend, where all match XP you earn will be doubled all weekend long!

This Week in Playlists (and Players Choice!)

New this week! Quad Team Chaos: a team free-for-all at its most chaotic with four teams of two. First team to 20 KOs wins the match!

But that’s not all! We’re already planning for our final week of the season, and we need your input! Select your favorite playlist in our Player’s Choice survey and help shape the future of the game! The winning playlist will be featured in Week 10 of this Season, September 28th - October 4th! Go forth and vote! Votes must be in by Tuesday, September 21st at 12pm (noon) ET in order to count!

In Support of Hispanic Heritage Month

In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15th - October 15th) and in support of Latinx and Hispanic Pride, we have some very special items appearing in the Bundle Shop in addition to our weekly bundle. Starting September 15th (tomorrow!), the Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month bundle, which contains Player Icons Talavera and A Pop Of Color, as well as 26 flags from Latinx and Hispanic countries will be available. In addition, every day we’ll feature a different Latinx and Hispanic Heritage Month icon in the Brawl Shop. This bundle and each of the icons it contains are—and always will be—free to all players!

Bundle Shop

Last week, we incorrectly announced the Drama Queen bundle (with a pretty amusing post, ifimightsaysomyself), but we jumped the gun (you’re welcome). We hope you enjoyed the surprise Opening Night Bundle. This week, we’re absolutely certain that the Drama Queen bundle will be available. Wait—no. Er, yes. Yes, it will be in the game tomorrow. I am mostly certain that I have not screwed this up again. Hopefully. 🤞

Crew Contracts

Why wear a tux when you can arrive in one? Don’t drive up to the match in some old bucket ‘o bolts! Slide in, in style, especially when paired with that sporty little Liberty Torch Crew Banner. They’re gonna look good on you, I guarantee it.

Clip of the Week

I was caught. 

In the middle of a railroad traaaaack (Juke. Box!)

I looked round

And I knew my team had turned their back (Juke. Box!)

My mind raced

And I thought, what could I do?

And I knew

There was no help, no help from you (Juke. Box!)

Sound of the taunt

Loud in my ears

The thunder of trains

Tore me apart

You’ve been
Hoverstruck.

Fanart

Shout out to BabyKarats who has waited patiently for her time to shine. And bravo, Maylia, for a fantastic job creating this fanart! 

Good Games Everyone!

Gotta run! I’ve got one more Event Contract to finish before the end of the event!
